“They were very happy and said the charter was “great and the crew were excellent”.
From my perspective I’ve really enjoyed working with Romel this summer and also Tom was great, and really took note of details I gave him about the individual guests and clearly he and the crew delivered a great experience for them.” - Broker

“Dear Captain,
I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye personally.
I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for making our trip incredibly beautiful.
From the moment we stepped on board, your warm welcome and friendly demeanour set the tone for the voyage. The destinations we visited added an extra layer of excitement to our adventure, and it truly made a difference. The smooth sailing throughout, allowing us to relax and enjoy the breathtaking views.
I also want to express my appreciation for your attention to detail and commitment to our satisfaction. Your willingness to go above and beyond to accommodate our requests and make us feel comfortable did not go unnoticed. Your crew, too, deserves praise for their professionalism and dedication. Thank you, Captain, for everything you did to make our trip so beautiful. Your expertise, kindness, and genuine care for us truly made a difference. We will cherish the memories we made on this voyage for years to come, and it is all thanks to you, and see you next year.” - Client

"Just got off the phone with XXXX, who is again over the moon about the trip – they agree best vacation EVER. Depending on the group, they’d absolutely return to Wellesley. Said the yacht was perfect size and layout for them, and is in pristine condition, and the crew really know their sh*t. He would watch other boats (crews) moored nearby, manoeuvring and working, and it was clear to him that Wellesley’s crew were miles above ; ) Absolutely loved the entire crew, they enjoyed their 2 weeks with them very very much and what a great team and great people all were. He was super happy how you were able to get in to every port (he was worried the boat might be too big when we were initially looking at boats) and took them everywhere they wanted to go. Basically, I heard the words “amazing” and “unbelievable” (in a good way!) about 15 times in our convo!
And I will thank you for the kind words you had about me Romel ; ) always helps to keep them in the fold!!
Thanks to all, most especially of course Romel and crew, for the most AMAZING and UNBELIEVABLE vacation-of-a-lifetime for the XXXX family!" - Broker

"Just a quick note to confirm the successful conclusion of our charter with THE WELLESLEY. Captain Romel did a fabulous job and seems the clients are thrilled with their time onboard and impressed with the crew. This is a family who enjoys returning year after year to the same familiar faces and yacht so I would think we can expect them to be enquiring again in the near future! It was an amazing trip with incredible staff!”

"From my perspective, working with Captain Romel was an absolute pleasure. We had difficulty getting information from the client in a timely manner, which can make planning difficult. Captain Romel was great to roll with it, and in the end the charter was a huge success. The client indicated he wanted to return next summer. All in all, Captain Romel did a wonderful job and I would be happy to present THE WELLESLEY and Captain Romel to future clients."

"I’ve not heard from the client as yet in writing, and his short WhatsApp notes have been short and sweet, but if he was unhappy I would absolutely know! I did just send additional wire to add to remaining APA for crew tip…he was super happy with the yacht and crew and I believe left the 2nd-highest tip ever received (like .04% short of being biggest).
I will certainly let you (and Romel) know if I get more from them, but they are talking about returning next year so Romel and I will be working on that. Can’t have a better compliment than a repeat ; ) Romel was great, even with my client's crazy schedule, and very communicative which I appreciate greatly. Absolutely would look forward to work with him again!"

"From my perspective everything went really well and Romel was awesome - we were in touch with him most days and he worked miracles - diving, gym equipment, dealing with authorities, etc…"

"The client has been delighted with his time on board THE WELLESLEY, he said everything was perfect. Captain and crew were wonderful, Chef Bradley cooked up some great food everyday. There was nothing negative and only positive comments. Itinerary, recommendations, ambiance onboard all 100%! He will be keeping in touch with Captain Romel I am sure – hoping to work on another charter for next year – maybe Croatia?
As for me, Captain Romel has been a real pleasure to work with, remaining calm at all times, professional, always finding solutions, always available – the kind of Captain you are confident to hand your clients over to. I believe they will be rewarded with a good crew gratuity.
Thank you also James for your help in the smooth running of the booking and postponement. Always a pleasure booking with you!
Overall an excellent result!
Looking forward to booking THE WELLESLEY again hopefully."
